Add your thoughts using the KWL approach. Thinking about Game Mechanics, Games-Based Learning or gamification.....
K = What do you know?
Rewards, bonuses, points and competition. This is my take on GBL
W = What do you want to learn?
Some new creative ways to apply GBL in multiple areas of the curriculum
L = What have you learned? (we'll do this last one later)
Some examples of gamification are increadibly intimidating, complex but very inspirational and clearly engaging.
I fear some of the learning outcomes could be lost in the "noise" of some games (all I can remember is Zombies, what's a map?)
Games are tools to engage students in the content BUT, do not lose focus of the content and its appliaction
Reflection
Add your thoughts here and also add to the KWL notes above, where appropriate.
Level 2
Where do I start?
Identify some learning outcomes that you will be visiting with your students in upcoming lessons. Note down here some ways they might benefit from gamification.
Memorization of the syllabus in Business Studies
Cause and effect of cocepts
Advantages and disadvantages of strategies
Observe and reflect
After playing a game what are your personal thoughts about the design and elements involved and how any of these could help you in thinking about doing the same in a learning activity?
Using pre-existing games and puzzles like bingo, cards and crosswords are just as effective as utilising technology.
